— 🇬🇧/🇮🇷 NOTE: Iranian ballistic missiles can reach the United Kingdom; there is no need for a terrorist bomb plot at RAF Fairford

And this is only the ‘demonstrated’ range of Iran’s ballistic missiles.

Some ballistic missiles in Iran’s arsenal, although small in number and not yet optimized, can almost certainly reach the United States.

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: Oil flows from the Strait of Hormuz have once again decreased, as Iran ramps up attacks

For a few weeks, the U.S. had been successfully escorting millions of barrels of crude oil through the Strait—but that short-lived success is now fading, as Iran has improved its targeting and escalated attacks against ship-to-ship transfers.

The cost of transporting oil has also skyrocketed; the price of chartering an oil tanker has increased by a staggering 1000%, and has reached $1.3 million a day compared to $50,000 before the war. – WSJ

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 INFO: The price of chartering an oil tanker in the Strait of Hormuz has reached $1,3 million dollars per day (per vessel)

Even with the Strait of Hormuz ‘open’ according to U.S. standards, the risk of Iranian attacks is simply too high to bear, which pushes up costs & makes long-term closure of the Strait unsustainable.

—❗️🇸🇦/🇾🇪 The approximate PLC advanced on Bab Al-Mandab front

Ansarallah still control the city of Dhubab and the Al-Omari mountain, which contains significant defenses.

If the PLC wants to capture Dhubab, they first have to capture the Al-Omari camp.

@Middle_East_Spectator

Ansarallah reinforcements headed towards Dhubab and Al-Omari.

Sanaa for Riyadh.

If the Saudis want to play with fire, so be it. Ansarallah has been very clear about this equation. Capital for capital.

—❗️🇸🇦/🇾🇪 NEW: A large convoy of Ansarallah reinforcements has entered the Al-Omari – Dhubab area

They are moving fast, have heavy weaponry, and blasting music from their cars, according to locals.
